Newcastle Defeats Manchester United 4-1, Guimaraes Taunts Fernandes

Newcastle United convincingly defeated Manchester United 4-1, with Bruno Guimaraes scoring the final goal and celebrating by loudly proclaiming 'I am the Bruno,' a pointed gesture towards United captain Bruno Fernandes. Guimaraes’ celebration, which included pointing to his name on his shirt and chest-thumping, underscored his dominant performance compared to Fernandes, who endured a frustrating outing and was substituted late in the match. Newcastle’s victory came despite manager Eddie Howe’s absence due to illness, further galvanizing the team as they continued their push for a top Premier League finish and Champions League qualification. Harvey Barnes contributed a brace, while a goalkeeping error from United’s Altay Bayindir, starting in place of Andre Onana, led to Guimaraes’ goal. Post-match, Fernandes acknowledged United’s lack of consistency and bravery, expressing disappointment in the team’s ongoing struggles this season. The contrasting fortunes of both Brunos highlighted Newcastle’s momentum and United’s continued challenges.
